    Hi, I dont know if it was already mentioned here, but I have real problems with differencing coal and normal stone. A

    If you are mining coal at the lowest strata, you're doing coal mining wrong.

    Oh, and now to the actual question: Because of the huge mass of files your updates have made me pile into my desktop, and because of the confusion they cause, I started wondering: could you make something like a BTW Updater, to automatically delete the current version of Minecraft.jar and replace it of one with the current version of BTW?


    I have no clue why you keep old Jars around and stuff, but isn't a proper update method on your end far easier?

    The BTW rar is always named for it's version, so no confusion there. The Minecraft.jar is always that, so obviously if you keep old versions around, put the original .jar, original Modloader.rar and original BTW.rar in a folder with the correct minecraft version as it's name.

    Or do it like i do it: dump the new BTW in the .jar file, copy the .minecraft folder to your desktop and just forget previous versions.

    Well, I can live with that ;)

    Oh, and another question (no time to test it myself, as I experience some prolems with Minecraft lately): Silk Touch also emables you to get all of the different "depths" or ores, or this is a Stone-only feature?


    iron etc ore drops their correct stone type and gem ores silk-touch their correct stone types

    Or am I missing something where you need boatloads of saws?

    required time is inversely related to the amount of machines. So, if you need a cubic stack of wood siding, and you need it quick, you need a lot of saws.

    Regarding early-BTW suggestions:

    Windmills, what windmills?



    Well, the worst part of the later suggestions was that they never come alone. It's usually a huge post summing up already turned-down ideas

    By the way, I think I've got a bug. When wild wolves get hurt, they flicker, the textures switch fast between angry/not angry. MOst of the time, they stay not angry though.

    it sounds like it could be vanilla MC causing it, did you check?

    otherwise it's wasted time.

    Honestly, I think I like the permanence of working with quartz. I've considered several times maybe being able to break it back down into the item or what have you, but each time I hesitate.

    No doubt that internal debate will go on for awhile for me, but I don't feel comfortable making a move on it as a result of it still raging :)

    Oh no it's not back to the item form that i'm worried about, i can live with that.


    It's this recipe flow:

    Quartz block -> quartz slab -> Chiseled quartz

    chiseled quartz -> quartz slab


    I would like the ability to turn chiseled quartz back to regular quartz blocks so i can make sidings and stuff with them. Right now chiseled quartz feels like a punishment. they can only be made back into slabs and slabs can only be made into chiseled quartz.

    A quick question:

    could we get some kind of reversal recipe for quartz blocks? I made some chiseled quartz blocks but they only turn back to slabs. It would be great if i could turn slabs back to blocks or chiseled quartz back to regular blocks.

    Hey, 30 minutes and you can "beat" vanilla MC and completely wreck the BTW early tech progression if that's your thing :)

    Not much I can do about that since BTW-specific saves are a non-option given how long some people have been playing their worlds with this mod. However, I think people are largely playing the early game because they want to, and because they've been missing that kind of challenge in vMC.


    there are people who will adjust immediately, and people who need time. and people who need LOADS of time (it was months before i turned from TMI and cheating like hell and doing legit BTW).

    Just keep hoping that the people who wanna wreck their experience will, one day, decide to start over and get immersed in a whole new and exiting, challenging game they've never experienced before.

    The pick changes sounds... horrifying. The thought that I need 13 planks before I can get a stone pick- I guess I'll be walling off places to create shelters now rather than mining out a shelter.


    13 planks is like, 4 logs. seriously?

    The savings are minimal mind you, and probably not worth the overall effort.

    Depends on how much coal you mine. with Fortune III, one stack of ore becomes roughly 2.5 stacks of coal. I've had days where i comfortably dug up 4 stacks of coal ore in 1 go.

    But i guess it kinda was a luxury anyway.

    So the coal block still leaves me at "ugly block i dont care about".

    I still don't see what the issue is here. 9 coal is used to make a coal block. A coal block burns 9 times as long as coal.

    So again, huh? :)


    me neither. Well, its useful when mining coal with a Fortune pick, but otherwise i just go "it's a boring block".

    It's an ugly block that burns. woot *sacasm*

    How is that any different from how it is now in terms of anything but having a storage block?


    In fact, in vanilla, 1 coal smelts 8 items. a coal block smelts 8*8 = 64 , PLUS 8.

    Which is a horrible thing.

    Why make fighting mobs an artificially bad choice by making Steve burn calories faster than a red star?

    Or, maybe, half hunger is a horribly low amount of nutrition?

    have you by any chance got fat on you? without fat the hunger bar decreases a LOT faster.

    My advice: try testing it in survival. As usual, I don't support creative, and that includes flying around in a way in which the game wasn't really intended.

    Will do but i need a proper world to test it in first :P . it was just intended to be a quick test to see what happens. i find it just as weird as you tho.

    What i did learn is that my FPS indicator on F3 in no way represents how smooth gameplay is.
